Martin Eiermann

Martin Eiermann is a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley and a co-editor of the Berkeley Journal of Sociology. His research focuses on the organizational networks of social movements and on the history of privacy in the United States.

What happens at the intersection of social life and the natural environment? Three essays – on the politics of climate change, California’s water crisis, and the economy of food waste – seek to provide answers and extend our analytical leverage.

The Berkeley Journal of Sociology is run by a collective of graduate students from the UC Berkeley Department of Sociology. It seeks to contribute to the “history of the present” by publishing critical sociological perspectives on current social, economic, political, and environmental issues.
